Right at the start, pound the ground inside the stone head to the left and quickly get out of the way before it falls on you. Next, jump over the head and get the first Puzzle Piece.
After shooting through barrels and into a ruin, jump on the Stilts to clear out this area; then pound the yellow gourd to release a Puzzle Piece.
Reach an upper level by using three barrels. As you shoot into the air, move to the right so you land in the next barrel and then finally on the platform. Now jump to the left and grab on to the grassy layer. Climb down to get another Puzzle Piece. Drop back down and use the barrels again to return to the next area.
There is a Tiki Tank here. Its head is bouncy, so jump onto it. As you hit it, jump up again so you can reach the K KONG letter and add it to your collection.
You go through a series of barrels and tumblers. When you reach the last barrel, it will shoot you onto the ground. Ride it to the bottom of its movement and shoot here to enter a bonus area where you have to clear out the items in order to earn a Puzzle Piece.
As you exit, move to the left and jump onto the Stilts located under the O KONG letter. This allows you to jump higher to reach the letter.
After passing the checkpoint, jump up and grab on to the grassy layer and climb to the left. Pound a gourd and a barrel will appear. Jump into the barrel to enter a bonus area where you can earn a Puzzle Piece by clearing out the bananas, coins, and balloon.
When you come across a grassy layer above you, just keep heading to the right and climb down along the next grassy layer to find another Puzzle Piece.
At the next barrel and tumblers section, shoot your way to the barrel on the far right so you can pick up the N KONG letter by shooting yourself into it. Then continue on to the checkpoint.
Near the end of the level, you must jump onto small platforms that extend out for only a brief amount of time. When you see the block spinning, jump up so you can land on the platform as it extends. Make your way up to the top along the left side, and then jump over to the left to get the last Puzzle Piece.
Now head across the top of the same area but to the left to get the G KONG letter. Jump into the barrel to begin a series of barrel shots to get you to the Slot-Machine Barrel. You must shoot into a stone monkey’s mouth and have to time your shot just right. The mouth is spinning, so fire before it is in position. By leading your shot, you will fly right into the barrel in the mouth and continue to the Slot-Machine Barrel to complete the level.
